Like kydfx posted always use the parking brake. Without seeing this happening I wonder what gear was the transmission in? Is your engine compression dropping? Only after those two questions are considered would I go to is the clutch simply slipping? The last one would be easy to confirm because I should be able to make the clutch slip on a hard accleration when shifting. The first would have needed to notice what gear the car was stopped in otherwise you would have to try to repeat the parking event in the same location and choose gears other than 1st or reverse. The loss of compression should show up by loss of power on hills or accleration, and if checked yo may have excessive blow-by gasses. By chance is this using a lot of oil?
Hi everybody, I have a 2012 hyundai accent hatchback manual transmission. This just started 2 days ago. In the morning when the car is cold I really have to SLAM/PUSH the shifter into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd it's a 6 speed. After the car warms up it shifts PERFECT all day until I park it at night and drive it the next morning. I dont want to drive it because I dont want to #@$% anything up. I can't find a dipstick to check to see if the fluid is low (dont know if that's even the issue) and I think it could possibly be the clutch master or slave cylinder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
